Incredibly Powerful SHARC DSP

The centre piece of the Strymon blue Sky Reverberator, and crafting all the pedal’s luscious, and quite frankly stunning, reverbs is the incredibly powerful SHARC DSP, which has been pushed hard to utilise every ounce of processing power it is capable of. The result is a pedal that blurs the line between normal pedals and their more complex studio rack counterparts.

9 Reverb Experiences – Countless Possibilities

A total of nine reverbs are accessible from the Strymon blueSky Reverberator Pedal’s Mode and Type switches. The three Types of reverb available are the all-hand-crafted Plate, Room and Spring, and three Modes are available with each of these reverb algorithms, giving you extremely versatile options. These Modes are: Normal, Mod and Shimmer.

Shaping Your Reverb

Along with the Type and Mode options, the Strymon blueSky Reverberator also has a five tone shaping options, which allow for absolute control over each part of your reverb, including reflection times; giving you the capability to get the tone in your mind out of your amp. These options include: Decay, Mix, Pre-Delay, Low Damp, and High-Damp. There is also a +/-3dB Boost/Cut accessible by holding Tap and Bypass at the same time, while rotating the Mix knob.

In addition to these tone shaping options, you also have a Bypass switch, for taking the reverb out of your effects chain with zero latency. There is also a Favourite button, which allows you to instantly recall a previously created reverb.

Exceptional Audio Quality

As you have probably gathered by now, the Strymon blueSky Reverberator Effects Pedal doesn’t skimp in any way, and so it comes at now surprise that it is equipped with ultra-low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters and offers 115dB typical signal to noise, making it equally suitable for the studio as it is on the stage.

Also of note is the unit’s 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response and a +8dBu maximum input level that is more than capable of handling instrument and line signals. The unit is powered with a standard 9V DC supply and offers stereo inputs and outputs.
